Above: Art Workshop Leader/ Project Manager with BBC Radio Merseyside and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.
"I was honoured to be asked by BBC Radio Merseyside and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre to manage a project which included my teaching art workshops and then using the artwork, to design a wall frieze for the UK's first mobile treatment centre. The project lasted a few months and it was lovely to teach and support the workshop attendees, who produced wonderful artwork of Liverpool and surrounding areas. When we all reunited for the official opening of the mobile unit, I was stunned and honoured to find a plaque detailing my involvement in the project. This was a project that meant a lot to me, partly because my late father was born in Liverpool. Although we travelled abroad during my upbringing, it always touches my heart to visit this wonderful city."
